How to Add and Remove Links in Translation Texts

When translating your banner content for different languages, you'll often need to add or modify links to ensure they point to the correct language-specific pages. This guide shows you how to manage links within your translation texts.

Accessing Translation Text Fields

To work with links in your translated content:

1. Navigate to Websites and banners
2. Choose your banner
3. Go to the Text section
4. Use the language switcher above the text form fields to select the language you want to edit

Identifying Link-Enabled Text Fields

Not all text fields support link formatting. Look for text fields that have styling options above them - these fields allow you to add and format links. Common link-enabled fields include:

• Main banner messages
• Policy acknowledgment text
• Cookie category descriptions
• Additional information text

Adding Links to Translation Text

To add a link within your translated text:

1. Select the text you want to convert into a link (e.g., "privacy policy" in your translated language)
2. Press the Link button in the styling toolbar above the text field
3. A popup window will appear with a URL input field
4. Enter the appropriate URL for that language version (e.g., link to your French privacy policy for French text)
5. Confirm to create the link

Language-Specific Link Considerations

When adding links to translated content:

• Ensure the destination URL matches the language of your text
• Link to translated versions of your privacy policy, terms of service, etc.
• Verify that linked pages exist and are accessible
• Consider using relative URLs if your site structure supports it

Removing Links from Translation Text

To remove an existing link from your translated content:

1. Click on the linked text within the text field
2. Press the Unlink button in the styling toolbar
3. The link will be removed while preserving the text content

This is useful when:

• You need to update a link destination
• A linked page is no longer available
• You want to convert linked text back to regular text

Managing Links Across Multiple Languages

When working with multilingual content:

1. Switch between languages using the language selector
2. Review links in each language to ensure they point to appropriate destinations
3. Update links consistently across all language versions
4. Test each language version using the Preview function

Best Practices for Translation Links

• Match link destinations to content language: French text should link to French pages
• Maintain consistent link placement: Keep links in similar positions across languages
• Use descriptive link text: Ensure linked text clearly indicates the destination
• Test all links: Verify that links work correctly in each language version
• Keep URLs organized: Use a consistent URL structure for different language versions

Previewing and Saving Changes

After adding or modifying links in your translations:

1. Press Preview to see how links appear and function in context
2. Test clicking the links to verify they lead to the correct destinations
3. Switch between languages in preview mode to test all versions
4. Press Save when you're satisfied with all language versions

Important: Remember to save your changes! Link modifications won't be applied to your live banner until you press the Save button.

Troubleshooting Common Link Issues

• Link not clickable: Ensure you've pressed Save after adding the link
• Wrong destination: Check that you've entered the correct URL for that language
• Link styling inconsistent: Verify that the same text formatting is applied across languages
• Broken links: Test all URLs to ensure linked pages are accessible

Your translated banner content will now include properly formatted links that direct users to appropriate language-specific resources.
